SHE SOLD THE LOT.

SCISSOR OF an empty purse, with a pay
ment on said corner lot staring him in
the face, which he must meet or lose the
lot. The one escape was in making an
immediate sale of the lot, and in this
task young Mrs. Hazard came to the res
cue. She arrayed herself in a former
theatrical outfit, completely Disgusting
her identity, and called on a wealthy real
estate dealer, who had the refusal of the
property at $50 a foot, the top market
price. She stated that she understood
he was the owner of the lot, and that
since she had taken fancy to the loca-
ton and desired to build handsome
home Immediately, she would give him
S73 a foot for the same. The suave dealer
Informed her that the lot was his and if
she would call around on the morrow
they would complete the bargain, chival-
rOusly not requiring any deposit to bind
the refusal. He then hurried around to
young Hazard to tell him he would take
the property, but found it had advanced
in price to $50 per foot, which he re-
luctantly paid and got a deed In vain
he waited, and is still awaiting, the ap-
paarance of the wealthy young widow

The Color of the Eyes.

Generally speaking, blue eyes sig
nifty constancy and devotion to
friends.
Black eyes denote as a rule a sens
uous character and an inconstant,
tickle disposition. However, there are
some noted exceptions to this rule.
The main characteristics of the Vi
olet eye, which is called the woman's
eye, are affection and purity, chivalric
belief, and limited or deficient intel
lectuality.
Gray eyes are the most expressive of
all eyes and denote strong qualities of
mind and soul. Persons with gray
eyes usually have great deal Of pa
triotism.
dissatisfaction and conceit are
commonly the characteristic traits
represented by the green eye. When
the tinge verges on yellowishness it
denotes that the possessor is gifted
with strong powers of imagination.
The very light blue eye is character
lstlc OF the Northern races, and in a
woman it suggests constancy and
truth, steadfastness, simplicity, cour-
age, and purpose. In a man it is
apt to denote phlegmatic dispo-
sitlon.
Brown eyes are the eyes of the
South and East and denote as a gen
eral rule passion and lack of orig
inality. In women they mean jeal-
ousy and cruelty very often, and in
men courage, superstition, and mild
recklessness.
Blue eyes usually go with light hair,
but when they go with dark hair and
complexion there is coupled with the
affectionate qualities a tendency to
deceive, stimulated by an ambition for
conquest and leading to the gratifca-
ton of admiration.
Hazel is very difficult color to de-
termine, there are so many different
varieties. As a general rule eyes of
this color suggest a good deal of
strength Of character and generally
sense of mischief and trickery. A
blue-gray with bronze streaks radi-
ating from the centre, comes nearest
to hazel.

WHAT WIVES ARE ron-What the true

WHAT WIVES ARE FoR.-What the true
man most wants of wife is her COM
panionship, sympathy and love. The
way of life has many dreary places in it,
and man needs companion with him.
A man is sometimes overtaken with mis-
fortune; he meets with failure and defeat;
trials and temptations beset him, and he
needs one to stand by and sympathize.
He has some stern battles to fight with
proverty, with enemies and with sin, and
he needs woman that, as he puts his
arm around her, feels that he has some
thing to fight for, will help him fight,
who will put her lip to his ear and whis-
per words of counsel, and her hand to
his heart and impart new inspiration.
All through life-through storm and
sunshine, conflict and victory; through
adverse and favorable winds-man needs
a woman's love. The heart yearns for
it. sisters and mothers love viii

nothing further than homework. Justly
enough, half Of these get nothing more.
The other half, surprised above measure,
obtain more than they sought. Their
wives surprise them by giving noble
idea of marriage, and disclosing trea-
sury of courage, sympathy and love.

HORSEPOWER OF THE SUN.

Popular Science: From human history
we know that for several thousand wears
the sun has been giving heat and light to
the earth as at present possibly with
some considerable fluctuations, and pos
slbly with some not very small progress
sive vibration. The records of agricul-
ture, and the natural history of plants
and animals within the time of human
history abound with evidence that there
has been no exceedingly great change in
the intensity of the suns heat and
light within the last 5000 years; but for
all that there may have been variations
OF quite as much as or 10 per cent, as
We may judge from considering that the
intensity of the solar radiation to the
earth is 61s per cent. greater in January
than ID July; and neither at the equator
nor IN the Northern or Southern hemi-
sphere has this difference been discover
ed by experience or general observation
OF any kind. But as for the mere age of
the sun, irrespective of the question of
uniformity, we have proof of something
vastly more than 5000 years in geological
history, with its irrefFagable evidence OF
continuity of life on the earth in time
past for tens of thousands and probably
for millions of years.
Here, then, we have a splendid subject
for contemplation and research in natural
philosophy or physics, the science of
dead matter. The sun, a mere piece of
matter of the moderate dimensions which
We know it to have, bounded all around
by cold ether, has been doing work at
the rate of four hundred and seventy-six
thousand million million million horse
power for 5000 years and possibly more.
and certainly not much less, than that
for few million years. How is this to
be explained? Natural philosophy can
not evade the question, and no physicist
who is not engaged in trying to answer
1t can have any other justification than
that his whole working time is occupied
with work on some other subject or sub
jects of his province by which he has
more hope of being able to advance
science.

The Habit OF Reading Fast.

II is plain that the knack of reading

1t should be more encouraged in

seem to require; but silently and for
his own benefit, he should learn to read

A Pistol Duel Across the Table.

A few days after the battle of Wa
terloo Mr.. Trevor and certain
Captain, while at a dinner party,
quarreled about a lady. The Captain
being splendid shot and Trevor al
most blind, the latter demanded that
they fire at each other across a table.
Some one secretly suggested that the
pistols should be loaded without ball,
and this was done. The two adverse
ries, who believed their last hour had
come, were as pale as death; but if
they were prey to deep emotion, not
a muscle trembled. "Who will give
US the signal?" asked the Captain.
The person who undertook to give the
signal, said with a trembling voice:

recoiled from the shock What's the
meaning of this?" exclaimed the two
combatants. ''Who has dared to
make fools of US? There are no balls

exclaimed the friends around them.
Trevor ground his teeth. The rem
edy is easy enough" said the Captain,
pointing to some swords suspended
from the wall. He took down two,
measured them, and presented one to
his adversary, who seized it eagerly.
''Now there shall be no trickeryl" he
exclaimed. Stand off, sir" They
stood face to face, and the blades
glistened. The contest was short.
One of them soon fell-it was the Cap
tain. He expired without a groan.

Curious Things in Cuba

Journal contains the following: do
YOU know that for fact Havana has

stoves, no chimneys, no carpets, and,
| lust to think of it, no boarding
| it also has, as a rule, no sidewalks and
no sewers. In the old city proper

walks. In the new part 1t has some

lodges, twelve to eighteen inches wide.

wagon hubs away from the walls and

These w;udows are huge openings,
extending down the entire front Of the

on the outside in every case by massive
iron bars, and on the inside by heavy
wooden shutters, which in turn have
wickets in them and peep holes. When
you have seen one of these windows
you have seen them all. The door of
the house is big enough to let stage
through it, and in it is a small door
for persons on foot. 1t is at the barred
window that the caballero woos the
